On Aug. 4, 1993 Nolan Ryan drilled Robin Ventura with a fastball in the back. What ensued was a bench-clearing brawl highlighted by Ryan putting Ventura in a head lock and landing numerous punches. It’s an iconic scene and reminded everyone that even at age 46 Ryan shouldn’t be messed with. Ryan, now CEO of the Texas Rangers, and new Chicago White Sox manager Ventura spoke for the first time since the brawl on Friday and both said they don’t hold any grudges after the 19 years.

“Whenever the video is shown at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, it gets huge cheers. Ryan said Thursday that the photo of him punching Ventura is one of the top three items he’s asked to sign by fans.”
